as a project I have been building a supercomputer cluster out of old(ish) computers. I decided to use Linux mint and successfully installed it on two out of 5 computers however on the 3rd computer I encountered an error. the installer would run fine up until the select the drive screen at which point it reverts to the previous screen (select partioning)and this ends up in a loop (parting to drive select to portioning to drive select ect), I have tried both drives and nether make any change. it is not the boot media as it worked on the pervious 2 devices. I made a new boot usb a (this time 64 bit) and encountered the exact same issue. the computer specs are as follows:
- dual core intel chip
- 1.5 gz chip
- 2 GB ram
- 580 GB(one 500 GB and one 80 GB drives)
- previously running windows XP
I am unable to install the media on the 4th computer due to a issue with the boot loader.

Not much of a supercomputer cluster, when a single modern computer is faster. But, have if you are having fun, go at it :)

knew someone would say that, quite frankly most computers do not have 9 cores and 12 GB of ram. the computers are not all identical.

Assuming the hardware is good, then something is likely wrong with partition table. Use Gparted and delete the current partition table and create a new one, then install Mint.
